Question: What is a LIMITARY? Quote fro Dan3 <"You are confusing network bandwidth with memory bandwidth........If, IF!,there is any need for rambus's bandwidth it is in local data transfers such a between video chip and video RAM, or CPU and video RAM"> Dan, Are you implying that we don't need Rambus for maximum access to the internet? Think again! According to Mark Ellsberry, VP of marketing at Hyundai Electronics, applications such as 3-D graphics, picture phones and downloading large bundles of information from the Internet will need high memory bandwidth memory. He stressed the need for Rambus. This will benefit from RAMBUS technology and require RAMBUS for maximum performance. According to Dell's Whitepaper: "...the areas that will benefit most from increased memory bandwidth": DATA STREAMING "Encryption and Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) decode of compressed video are examples of data streaming applications in use today. However, data streaming will become more common in the future as DVD and video conferencing are more widely used. These types of programs vary in the amount of memory performance they require, but all generate extensive simultaneous memory activity that consumes a considerable amount of bandwidth." Dan, the video conferencing and picture phone use will become standard over the internet and require Rambus for maximum performance. You will also be able to quickly download a movie or record CD from the internet. You are wrong if you think the public sill settle for slower technology than Rambus that takes much longer to perform. People will be excited when they no longer need to get in their car and drive to Blockbuster to rent a movie and then drive back and return it when they can do it over the internet in seconds with Rambus. Grandparents will want to see their grandchildren on a live video picture across the continent instead of the current still frame videos available now. dell.com Why do you suppose Intel's memory roadmap shows this: developer.intel.com Dan3 you are obviously not a visionary. I will coin a new word just for you.... you and each of the other naysayers are a LIMITARY. Investartist
